Byron - Childe Harold's Pilgrimage |

As parts the aged pilgrim, worn and gray,
From the dear spot his life where he had spent,
From his poor family by sorrow rent,
Whose love still fears him fainting in decay:
Thence dragging heavily, in life's last day,
His suffering frame, on pious journey bent,
Pricking
with earnest prayers his good intent,
Though bow'd with years, and weary with the way,
He reaches Rome, still following his desire
The likeness of his Lord on earth to see,
Whom yet he hopes in heaven above to meet;
So I, too, seek, nor in the fond quest tire,
Lady, in other fair if aught there be
That faintly may recall thy beauties sweet.

When night to the troubled soul seems years through:

Sweetly deceiving me with a specious view.

But when the dawn, all silent and serene,
With soft-pac'd ray dispels the shades obscene,
With grateful transport sparkling in each eye,
The joyful crew the port of safety spy;
Such darkling tempests, and portended fate,
While weak

Such when he died, the peaceful morning rose,

Whose minds of passion quickly seethe in rage--
Of which kind chief are fierce abounding lions,

through their inwards rouses up
The icy currents which make their members quake.

Wandering even to the sunny orbs Cubes of light & heat {Lowercase "cubes" mended to "Cubes.
